Dom and Letty- Finding My Love

Meeting Dominic Toretto

It was a lazy Sunday morning. Leticia Ortiz was sitting on the plush chair in her living room watching the Chicago Bears football match, wearing her shorts and her favourite team's jersey with her hair tied up into a messy bun and her mouth filled with Cheerios. Her eyes were glued to the TV screen not wanting to miss any exciting moments of the game. Her legs were folded and her body slouched against the chair.
"Letty, I thought you were allergic to mornings?" her mother said to her.
"Very funny Ma, can't you see I'm in the middle of a very important match here?"
"Can't you be a girl for once?"
"If I say yes will you stop blocking the TV"

Her mother just shook her head and walked away, attending to the housework she had to do.

Letty's mom Ana, was a single mother since her father left them when she was a 3 month year old baby. She had taught Letty everything she needed to learn and for that Letty was absolutely grateful but at times she just wanted some peace and quiet and for her to enjoy a match. At a very young age Letty had a laid back tomboy style, no matter how much her mother tried to change that it never worked. She was never afraid to be herself and to voice out her own opinions and thoughts which thus resulted in her getting kicked out of many schools for various reasons like fighting, talking back, cussing and the list goes on.

At the age of 18, Letty only had a few more months until she finished high school and then she would be off somewhere exploring the world, something she's always wanted to do, until then she just had to suck it up and get through high school.

She was still glued to the TV when her cousin, Vince walked into her house.

"Hey Aunt Ana, I'm here and I brought a friend"
"Hi, Vince, how you doing boy?" she said hugging her nephew.
"And who is this?"
"Hello, I'm Dominic Toretto but everyone calls me Dom, it's nice to meet you" he said shaking her hand.
"You guys are just in time, I'm getting lunch ready, till then sit down and make yourselves comfortable"

Dom and Vince sat down on the couch facing the TV.
"Dom, this is my cousin" Vince said.

"Hey, names Letty" was all she said before going back to the game.
"Hi, I'm Dom"
"Nice to meet you"

Dom was somewhat intrigued by Letty. She wasn't like all the other girls he'd met and dated before, she was different and he wanted to get to know her.

"Lunch is ready" Ana called out.

The four of them sat at the table with their plates filled with sandwiches and chips. They were eating lunch and at the same time Ana and Letty were asking Dom some questions.
"So, Dom what brings you to this part of town?"
"I actually just moved here with my sister"
"How do you know Vince?" Letty asked.

"I met Vince about 4 years ago when I was in a treasure hunt, we were in the same group and since then we've been really good friends"
"Did you win?"
"No, why do you ask?"
"I would have been surprised if you did, cause I mean you got Vince in your team" Letty stated.
"Hey!!!" he said throwing a piece of bread at Letty.

Dom laughed looking at Letty and Vince. He had never been this happy before after his father passed away.

Lunch was over and Letty helped her mother clear the table and wash the dishes.
"Thank you Ms. Ana for having me for lunch today"
"It's nothing Dom, it was very nice having you for lunch, please do join us more often when you come over with Vince"

Vince and his aunt were saying goodbye to each other while Dom spoke to Letty.

"So, since I'm going to be across the street from now on, I was wondering if we could hang out?"
"Sure, I would like that, it would be fun"
"When will I see you again?"
"Don't worry Toretto, it'll be sooner than you expect".
